Özet

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of taurine on advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs), malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) in young and middle-aged rat plasma. Middle-aged (13-14 months of age) male albino Wistar rats were divided into two groups as the middle-aged control and the middle-aged taurine groups. Young (6-7 weeks of age) male albino Wistar rats were divided into two groups as the young control and the young taurine groups. While the rats in the control groups were given 0.5 ml of isotonic sodium chloride, the others were given taurine intraperitonally at a single dose of 200 mg/kg/day for 7 days.
